QIZE of a Blackbird : length near nine inches. The bill is Description 



fhort and flout, and fomewhat rounded in fhape; colour black: 

 the upper parts of the bird are black, the under white: fcapulars 

 ftreaked with white : acrofs the wings a trace of white : the legs 

 yellowifh'brown : webs black. 



The male is faid to differ in having the throat black. 



Edwards's bird, and that figured in the Britijh Zoology-, have the 

 head and neck black; and are fuppofed to differ in fex from the 

 above-defcribed, but this is not clear : I have received the laft from 

 North America, from which place I have feen two more of the fame; 

 but the few I have met with of Englijh fpecimens, among which 

 are two in my own collection, were like the firft-mentioned. 



We believe this fpecies not to be very common in England, 

 being only met with now and then. We have received it from 

 Dover ; and a fecond fpecimen was fliot near Dart ford. It feems 

 to be moft plentiful towards the north, being met with in various 

 parts as far as Sptjbergen. Common in Greenland) in company
